Spamming

I've had an email on Wetpixel from member mignulikz which was spam, and judging by the number of people who've looked at that member's profile within the last hour I'm not the only one. I know I can block the member from emailing me again but is there any way we can report spamming attempts so that perpetrators can be blocked from the whole site?

Sheesh, am I the only one who thought to just "hover" over the link vs. clicking on it? I mean c'mon people: profile created within a day, zero personal info in profile, only 12 posts (which if checked were just garbage), PM from someone you've never spoken before, sent in the wee hours (vs. US user time zones at least), devoid of content except a link, and that link to a .ru domain...

Anyone who runs forums or blogs constantly has do deal with people trying to spam, break in, create fake log-on's, etc. There are most likely bots that are trying to create logins every hour on wetpixel.

There is technology to prevent this, but spammers and hackers are always trying to get one step ahead.

I'm sure the admins are doing all they can.

I'm really surprised at all these posts about the subject, what we saw was very mild, imho. Web site attacks/spams/hacks can be much much worse.

Or am I alone in being this paranoid?

Nope : I hovered too : was curious all day though : the announcement that I got a PM came just before worktime, and wetpixel is blocked at that client....

I did the same thing and forwarded a PM to one of the admins this morning (ddid not see this thread at the time.) Since I have no friends I knew no one would send me a PM, so I was not being paranoid, just realistic
